I remember dreading my lunches because my mom would literally put one slice of ham between bread and that was it... it was gross and cold!! And I remember going to the market when we lived in France and sometimes getting a little candy :)Anaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06224896416031363566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030496918044060645.post-55836223928507194672010-04-21T13:57:36.044-04:002010-04-21T13:57:36.044-04:00Wow, awesome golf shot!

I had a nervous stomach growing up so I wasn't a huge eater but I do remember loving cheddar cheese slices on club crackers with yellow mustard. Weird but oddly delicious, haha.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02655040584999327981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030496918044060645.post-70298262491349688952010-04-21T12:04:54.572-04:002010-04-21T12:04:54.572-04:00Ohh, you are good!

I guess I just haven't had enough practice? The last time I actually tried I was in high school, and that was EONS ago :)<br /><br />I have food memories of both healthy and non-healthy foods. But mostly, I think they are of the non-healthy kind. You bring up a good point about remembering the 'treats' and 'special occasion' foods. Typically, we celebrated with high-sugar cakes, cookies, candy, etc., as well as the greasy fries, pizza and other fried food. But you know what? I'm so glad that my parents let me have those foods. If they kept those things from me, I'd probably crave them even more today. It's all about moderation, right?Nicole Chow https://www.blogger.com/profile/05163978934086539099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030496918044060645.post-83889095773512131692010-04-21T10:36:44.203-04:002010-04-21T10:36:44.203-04:00We lived in the country but our best friends were ...We lived in the country but our best friends were city kids.

I remember being so excited. I think (similar to how some people see their parents smoking and associate it with being grownup) I always associated drinking soda with being grownup and old enough to make my own choices...hence the Diet Coke love affair I have now...hehe<br /><br />I also remember a lot of good comfort food growing up...mac and cheese, chicken pot pie, spaghetti and meatballs. My parents cook and eat a lot better now than they did when I was growing up.<br /><br />Enjoy your time off!!!Sneaker Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11629970985456274562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030496918044060645.post-85678443818221883812010-04-20T20:49:11.456-04:002010-04-20T20:49:11.456-04:00My mom always mixed peas with mac & cheese as ...My mom always mixed peas with mac & cheese as a way to sneak in veggies.

I remember riding my bike or walking to the nearest gas station, titled "Pony Express" the night of a sleep over and buy a couple different things. Sometimes we would get laffy taffy (the big ones), or werthers, or Lik-a-maids. There were also the days that we would stop there after softball or golf practice, grab a hotdog, chips, and small soda for less than a dollar. It was a great treat once a week during the summer months!<br /><br />We too grew up in a pretty healthy household - with the occasional treats and I don't think we really had soda in the house until I was in upper elementary/middle school. I sometimes think that I remember these food memories because they didn't happen all that often and were usually tied with friends or things I did on occasion.teacherwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791382386588836461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030496918044060645.post-10134323269636121412010-04-20T20:21:31.761-04:002010-04-20T20:21:31.761-04:00oh my childhood is defined by my consumption of ca...oh my childhood is defined by my consumption of candy. Reeses and butterfingers were my fav. Clearly, my love for PB&chocolate hasn't change. For me, I think these foodie memories have resonated with memore because they were always a "treat". If I did well at my basketball game my dad would take me out for a candy bar or some ice cream. If I helped my mom in the grocery store she would buy me a reeses or a slurpee. I think it was the experience rather than the candy itself that made it so memorable!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788928463063597266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030496918044060645.post-49701928952351814682010-04-20T20:11:39.881-04:002010-04-20T20:11:39.881-04:00Cake for my birthday : ) Yum.Cake for my birthday : ) Yum.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030496918044060645.post-27208997845680482492010-04-20T19:58:39.000-04:002010-04-20T19:58:39.000-04:00We used to have a par 3 near us, but it closed.

Now that Patrick is learning and I was thinking about learning too I really wish we had something like that around here.<br /><br />And I love sweets. Maybe a little too much. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that we celebrate with food.Carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02602197893251593228noreply@blogger.com
